The Rotations
Biography
The Rotations were an obscure Cleveland, OH, group who debuted on Debrossard Records with the infectious but poorly promoted I Can't Find Her in 1970. They began gigging in Ohio and Pennsylvania and were rediscovered in Harrisburg, PA, by a club-owner who also headed Soulsville Productions. Soulsville leased a finish single to Law-Ton Records in New York, but If I Could Be Like Columbus b/w Don't Ever Hurt Me in 1971 didn't crack an egg. Nothing else surfaced for the group led by Sonny Thompson, who also featured Bobby Star (who led Don't Ever Hurt Me); the other members are unknown. It's possible that they cut other singles, two on Frantic Records are often attributed to them, but nobody seems to know for sure. Producer/songwriter Manny Campbell referred to the teens as "voracious party animals who may not be still around 'cause they lived life so hard." ~ Andrew Hamilton, Rovi
